Opened in 2004, this 18-hole championship course is characterized by its traditional, parkland-style layout, featuring wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and large, undulating greens.

Set amidst the natural beauty of Central Florida, the course seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, utilizing existing wetlands and native vegetation to create both aesthetic appeal and strategic hazards. The layout demands precision and thoughtful shot-making, particularly on approach shots to the greens, which are often protected by bunkers and subtle contours.

Tips for Playing Reunion Resort - Watson Course
When playing the Watson Course, pay close attention to the pin positions on the large, undulating greens. Many greens have multiple tiers and subtle breaks, so being on the correct side of the hole is crucial for two-putting. Don't be afraid to take an extra club on approach shots, especially if the pin is tucked behind a bunker or on an elevated portion of the green. Given Tom Watson's emphasis on strategic play, avoid going for hero shots unless you're confident. Playing smart and aiming for the fat part of the greens will often lead to better scores than trying to attack every flag. Also, take advantage of the practice facilities, especially the putting green, to get a feel for the speed and contours before your round.
